Chapter 2 Using The Printer Software - Epson LX-300+ Reference Manual

Chapter 2
Using the Printer Software
The Epson software includes the printer driver software and
EPSON Status Monitor 3. The printer driver allows your
computer to control the printer and enables your Windows
software applications to take full advantage of the printer's
capabilities.
Status Monitor 3 lets you monitor the status of your printer,
alerts you when errors occur, and provides you with
troubleshooting tips. It is automatically installed when you
install the printer driver.
Note:
❏ Before proceeding, make sure you have installed the printer
software on your computer as described in the User's Guide.
❏ Make sure the software setting is set to ESC/P. The printer driver
software and EPSON Status Monitor 3 can function only in
ESC/P mode. (See page 67 for more information.)
❏ Windows NT does not support the USB interface.
